Most Relevant Verses
Practice the things you learned, received, and heard from me, things that you saw me do, and then the God who gives us peace will be with you.
Now, brothers, for your sakes I have applied all this to Apollos and myself, that from us as illustrations you might learn the lesson, "Never go beyond what is written," so that you might stop boasting in favor of one teacher against another. For who makes you superior? And what do you have that you did not get from someone? But if you got it from someone, why do you boast as though you had not? Are you satisfied already? Have you grown rich already? Have you ascended your thrones without us to join you? Yes, I could wish that you had ascended your thrones, that we too might join you on them!read more.
For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on exhibition at the disgraced end of the procession, as they do with men who are doomed to die in the arena. For we have become a spectacle to the universe, to angels as well as men. For Christ's sake we are held as fools, while you through union with Christ are men of wisdom. We are weak; you are strong. You are held in honor; we in dishonor. To this very hour we have gone hungry, thirsty, poorly clad; we have been roughly knocked around; we have had no home. We have worked hard with our own hands for a living. When abused by people, we bless them. When persecuted, we patiently bear it. When we are slandered by them, we try to conciliate them. To this very hour we have been made the filth of the world, the scum of the universe! I do not write this to make you blush with shame but to give you counsel as my dear children. For though you have ten thousand teachers in the Christian life, you certainly could not have many fathers. For it was I myself who became your father through your union with Christ Jesus, which resulted from my telling you the good news. So I beg you, make it your habit to follow my example,
You must follow my example, just as I myself am following Christ's.
Follow my example, brothers, and keep your eyes on those who practice living by the pattern we have set you.
You know yourselves how you ought to follow my example; for I was not a shirker when I was with you; I did not eat any man's bread without paying for it, but with toil and hard labor I worked night and day, in order not to be a burden to any of you. Not that I have no right to be supported, but to make myself an example for you to follow.
But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in the treatment of their own families, and to pay the debt they owe their parents or grandparents, for this is acceptable to God.
But you, on your part, must continue to abide by what you have learned and been led to rely upon, because you know from whom you learned it
The things you learned from me before many witnesses you must commit to trustworthy men who will be competent to teach others too.
you who teach others, do you not teach yourself too? You who preach that men should not steal, do you steal yourself?
